Even though its quite small however its quite relaxing and its a nice experience. There are loads of nice shops around the flea market too and they are really not expensive. Come on go - try going down those narrow allies and you can find really good bargains !

One thing one must do is visit the Citadel which is Gozo's protected city as in 'Mdina' is to Malta ! The citadel is protected by high and thick bastions so that way back in the past it was difficult for the enemy to come in or climb up.

In the year ad 60, Saint Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked on Malta and, during an over three-month-long stay, he preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to the islanders. A centuries-old tradition, partly proved by archaeological finds, relates how a Roman temple dedicated to Juno that dominated the ancient Citadel of Gozo, was dedicated by the early Christians to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

At the top of the fortress in one corner there is a nice café where you can have a drink and check out the few nice canons on site.
